Lemgo Fire Fighters Visit Defence School of Transport

The Defence School of Transport was visited last week by Fire Fighters and Junior Fire Fighters from Lemgo in Germany along with members of Humberside Fire and Rescue Service from the Beverley Fire Station.

The towns of Lemgo and Beverley have been twinned since 1979 and their fire services regularly visit each other.

The visit was organised by Councillor and former Mayor who is the Quality Assurance Manager at DST Workshop REME and Shaun “Shamus” Harrison of the Beverley Fire Station.

The visitor’s first port of call was the Defence Fire and Rescue Service hosted by Station Manager Justin Weston who briefed the group on their work supporting E Flight 202 SAR. They were then given a tour of E Flights hangar and had a chance to see the flight’s helicopters.
